White People in the News – June 11, 2008

Summary:

Corvallis resident Jeff Oliver sets up a booth at a Farmer’s Market to make a comedic and social statement about diversity in the region. Some white people are offended, but need to find a way to show the reporter that they are not racist. If only there was a way that white people could do that in a single sentence…

Best Quote:

“Sherry Littlefield of Corvallis said the booth was unnecessary. She and friend Ron Naasko said they have black friends, and would be voting for Barack Obama for president.”

BR, has it ever crossed your mind that Black people are historically democratic? The majority of them (95%) that are voting for Obama are voting because their philosophies and beliefs aligned closely with the democratic party hence the vote, its not all based on race. They would be behind Clinton if she was the nominee. How about the white women who would never vote for Obama becuase of his race and his sex?

What I’m curious about is what was in the black guy’s booth at the farmers market :)

You respond with:
“…are voting because their philosophies and beliefs aligned closely with the democratic party hence the vote, its not all based on race.”

Take a second and re-read what you wrote.

(pause for two seconds)

Then realize YOU are whom this blog and article is speaking to and about.

“…their philosophies and beliefs”
‘Their’. Which entire demographic are you generalizing about and arrogantly attempting to speak for?

“its not all based on race”.
It’s not? Then which of Obama’s policies do African Americans so resoundingly support over Hillary’s? Which are SO different between the two that African Americans so completely chose to support Obama over her.

Can you factually name any at all? Or is this more of just blind rhetorical grandeur, ‘post racialist, post partisian’ action, and ‘Change We All Believe In”?

What’s comforting me amidst all this hidden racism that educated Asians and Whites are afflicted with is that the authors of this blog are themselves down with teh Blacks (eeh, African Americans? which is it??! OH LORD PLEASE TELL US).

I can’t think of a cast of writers more diverse and sensitive. It’s truly endearing, nay encouraging, to know that someone out there has Black friends, works in a place where most of the writers are ‘of color’ and hangs at poetry slam competitions every weekend.

Nah, it’s much easier to make a statement among guilt-laden educated people. It takes as much balls as say protesting a KFC in a vegan infested town like Santa Cruz. Or going to an anti-war protest in San Francisco. Big fucking woop, that dood is about as courageous as civil rights workers in the South in the early 60s.

You can get your ego boost, feel like you messed with ‘the dominant paradigm’, all with zero risk and little to no energy wasted. Hot damn.

Yeah, had enough of the poor me/uber-liberated handicapped people. Either they want you to cry for them or they want you to let them open their own damn doors.

I grew up around handicapped people–and I mean a lot of handicapped people (physically handicapped, before anyone says anything) and I think because of this, I have no tolerence for either end of the spectrum.

No, idiot. I usually vote Republican and I don’t hate black people. I do hate people that don’t work for a living and expect handouts. Sure there are plenty of worthless white people on welfare, but I think you’ll find that the majority of welfare recipients are black. I went to a black high school, and have seen just how little effort they put into making life better for themselves. Yes, this is a generalization. No, I don’t believe all black people are like this.

I’m not going to disclose who I’m voting for here (not a Dem or a Repub mind you so dash that out of your head) but I fear that many white voters are voting for Obama simply because he is half-black.

His rhetoric sounds great though I gotta say I know next-to-nothing about the guy so I can’t make an informed judgment about him and we all know that the news pro & con are both completely skewed so I can’t infer anything from that.

That said I am surprised that most people here say/think that most black people will be voting for Mr. Obama- among my black friends I’d say that sentiment is not shared.They all say that he is as black as I am Chinese, which is simply half.

In the long run it will only matter because this country has an ethnicity neurosis.

This statistic only proves that 50% of white voters have their heads up their asses and are actually thinking of voting for what will essentially be a third Bush term, and only 5% of black voters are afflicted with this same malady.

Unless you always vote for Democrats, in which case it means you did your homework. Ok, just kidding. I’d vote for a Republican. If the Republican were pro-choice, not a religious zealot and foe of church-state separation, cared about the fate of working class and people living blow the poverty line, opposed stupid wars, and had the faintest clue about the consequences of our continuing the path of environmental degradation that we’re on, and were committed to changing that (as best as we can at this point.) So yeah, sign me up for electing a Republican like that and I’ll be glad to cross party lines. There are a lot of spineless, stupid, weak, pandering, self-serving Democrats. But nearly ALL Republican candidates are all of that and much worse. I root for the few remaining intelligent, good-hearted GOP voters to shake up their party and restore it to a party they can be proud of. I’m not holding my breath, but I’d be glad to have to pause before pulling the Dem lever. Really I would.

I would totally hang out at your booth…well, until that awkward silence sets in and I run out of interesting things to say. But at least I could start telling people that, “I have six-foot-two-and-a-half-inch white chick friends with hair that looks like a bad eighties perm, and I plan on voting for Obama.”

I would be so hip, and I know you’d have my back in a walk-off [Zoolander ref for those of you playing at home].

If a race of people vote 95% for one party, they sound like herd animals. Dependent and needing to be led around by the nose. That’s what the democrats offer. In reality the republicans offer it too–they just pretend not to at election time, though.

I said I usually vote Republican. To those of us who have higher IQs than shoe sizes, “usually” implies not always. Ergo, I don’t always vote for one party. I also said I understand that I’m making a generalization and that I don’t think all blacks are like that.(Not reading something in it’s entirety and then making a moronic comment is always stupid.) It’s funny though, that fiscal conservatives (yes I’m a fiscal conservative, not a social conservative- abort away for all I care) get painted as racist for saying black people (or any poor people) should get handouts. It seems to me that Democrats are the racist ones when they say things like “they’re black, they’re poor, they don’t have opportunities to better themselves.” This to me implies that the Democrats believe that black people are too weak to make their own opportunities or to do anything for themselves. Read Ron Paul’s website about racism. He makes good arguments for ending any sort of assistance specifically for a racial or cultural group.

Matt, I agree with your sentiments but consider that welfare is like throwing a wolf red meat to keep them distracted and less prone to attack. It treats people like animals, but it’s protection money the government gives out to keep the peace. God have I become cynical.

I understand, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. And I definitely don’t understand why the Dems in congress wanted to add unemployment extensions and extra food stamp money to the stimulus package. If I’m out of work and hungry, I’m going to get a job, any job. And if you don’t want to work, then you starve. All part of natural selection in my opinion. Lazy bastards should starve.

Oh man, my town’s farmer’s market/street fair is tonight. I wish I would find a booth like this here. I think it would make my night. And i would definitely get the free picture. Maybe I would have it made into a t-shirt.

I don’t know about meeting a midget, but there’s something about a short chick you can just walk up to, stand crotch to face and get work done that most chicks have to kneel down to accomplish. That’s the ideal, like drive through fast food, it’s walk up goo deposit; just slam your meat down her throat for a couple of minutes and walk right off as though nothing happened. Beautiful. They should have midget-like chicks just walking the streets collecting goo, maybe give them a buck or two and get your nut. They could work prominent areas during peek business areas and add a little something special to our lunch time. They could have a booth at the farmer’s market: “Honey, you go and pick up some fresh strawberries, I’ll be over here leaving a deposit!” You could call the booth “Meat the Midget-Like Chick.”

How many hours did you spend refreshing your browser, waiting for a new posting to appear so you could jump on it ahead of the rest of us who want nothing more from life than to bask in your reflected glory?

NO MATT, a majority of welfare recipients are white. 65% of the American population is White, whereas 10-15% is Black. Even if Black people were “lazier” more than 1/2 of them (6%) would have to be on welfare compared to 1/10 (6.5%) of White people. Logically, more White people are on welfare because they are a clearly the majority in America. This makes sense unless of course you believe that every other Black person is “lazy”, and then you probably have a problem.

(Lazy is in quotations because it isn’t the only reason why people are on welfare.)

It always saddens me that no matter how many times people who have studied social sciences explain this the average American White guy still goes around saying “Damn lazy Black people on welfare.”

I love it! “No, no, we aren’t racists. We have exactly 4 Black friends.” Did anyone see that comedian who was like anyone who claims they aren’t racist shouldn’t be able to state how many black people have come to their house because it only shows that they are counting, as if they’ve got some kind of limit on how much blackness they are comfortable with….I think it was DL Huegly? Hughey…?

“And In Other News”: BigUp! All Indigenous People, while today in Canada the Aboriginal/Indigenous People got ‘the white man’s apology,’ for whatever that’s worth! How about giving all Indigenous people their human rights and stolen land back!

and many people who say they are voting for him, just to gain respect from others, will not vote for him in the end. whoever asked why people in america are obsessed with race is in denial of their own experience of race in this country or lives in such a homogeneous place that they have never had to consider what it would mean to admit that racism is in full force, and that white people in this country have benefitted from racism at the expense of blacks and other people of color. why are (white) people obsessed with race??? many reasons, but there are a few explicitly listed above that have to do with irrational hate, anger, and violence.

you’ve never benefitted from a free handout before? did your parents? did your grandparents? what about social security? what about the GI Bill that gave WWII vets houses and college educations (that black vets couldnt take advantage of because the black colleges couldnt admit all of them, and they werent admitted into other universities)? what i am hearing from you is a sense that black people have given up on society, that they are no longer trying or something. if this is the case, well then its worse now than during slavery times because they managed to “work hard” through that and survive. and who profited from their hard work? who really works hard in this country? people who get paid 6 figures? or people who make minimum wage and dont get paid enough and need to go on welfare to feed their children? do you think that people would rather be on welfare than have a good job? do you have any idea how little TANF provides and thats only for people under a certain income and completely cuts out people who are barely getting by? you may have gone to a black high school, but have you even thought about why your fellow black students had become so apathetic and disengaged that they didnt see the value in “working hard” in school?

My academic friends who live near Corvallis tell me that the environment there is very racist indeed. Apparently, Corvallis is the racially based hate capitol of the USA. One feels the racial tension wherever people congregate.

The whites hate the blacks, the octaroons, and the other whites. They also despise the so called “Latinos”.

The blacks hate the whites and their fellow blacks, and the Latinos.

The Latinos hate themselves first, then the blacks, and then the whites.

Several conflict resolution interventions have failed put a dent in the problem.

If you have deep-seated anger that you long to rid yourself of, this may well be the place to live. (Primal screaming is passee.)

Im going to guess that this was a sarcastic post, not to offend black people, which obviously means im about to offend them. Anyway this completely shows that black people vote based on race, if obama was white, hillary would have won, because obama would look just like edwards. Im not saying Black people are racist, but it does show that they, unlike the rest of america, and its people, do vote just on one fact, and that is that obama is black. 95% of black people are voting for a black guy, when every other group of people, whether is be men, women, asians, latinos, etc has at least some difference in voting record. Even groups who poll into the 70% for a candidate, still have 30% who dont support them, but numbers like 95% are just ridiculous. And the comment that black people are smarter then white people, well as much as im sure they have the potential, and ive been to atlanta, and its filled with EBPs, nationally, test scores for black people are far below that of white and latinos. I think it says something that there are only two black billionaires in this country, and both work in the entertainment industry, Oprah, and Mr. Johnson of BET, and he sold that some years ago. Maybe an obama presidency will help give most black kids a reason to strive for success in school, to become doctors, or lawyers or teachers, instead of rappers, or singers.

Its black, because 99% of all black people in this country, have A: never even been to africa, B: probably cant name 10 countries in africa, C: white people are not called European Americans, and D: black people are even getting annoyed with the fact that when white people are calling them african american, they only say it because they feel they have too instead of using the word black, and we all know black people hate to be bullshitted.

Thank you for someone finally pointing this out. In their ultimate effort to be diverse, the fat lady from New York with her “hip” glasses and her husband with his facial hair have named their kid “Osiris”. Are you kidding me? Way to plan ahead to have your kid mercilessly taunted his entire life. But I guess he won’t ride the bus to public school so he won’t associate with the WKOWP.

“people who get paid 6 figures? or people who make minimum wage and dont get paid enough and need to go on welfare to feed their children?”

Definitely people who get paid 6 figures.

This question shows 1) you don’t think hard work pays off. 2) you think people are poor because of reasons they can’t control. 3) you think simply because someone have kids, they should be taken care of. I have kids, I don’t expect any one to take care of us but me.

“do you think that people would rather be on welfare than have a good job?”

Oh yeah.

“do you have any idea how little TANF provides and thats only for people under a certain income and completely cuts out people who are barely getting by?”

I don’t even know what TANF is. But if you are getting by, why do you need hand outs? So your logic goes, someone feels ashamed to receive handouts when they are extremely poor, but shouldn’t feel ashamed to receive handouts when they can get by?

This clearly shows you think the gov’ is a cow to be milked, while other hard working people feed it.

“you may have gone to a black high school, but have you even thought about why your fellow black students had become so apathetic and disengaged that they didnt see the value in “working hard” in school?”

This shows you agree that black students don’t see the value of working hard. Why, all of a sudden, they become so hard working when they step out of school…as you suggested earlier?

Blaming others for your situation will NEVER get you out of your situation.

I can assure you I’m a very productive member of society. My employer understands that we may want to take breaks and check the news or a couple websites. I choose to take a few minutes and annoy the “original” thinking morons that bow down before (insert any Democratic candidate here) and follow what they say blindly.

If you’re speaking of sheer numbers, their probably are more white people because, as you say, there are more white people in the country. However, if you look at relative populations, I think the percentages are higher for blacks.

And of course lazy isn’t the only reason to be on welfare. If you’re disabled or something I have no problem giving you help. But trust me, I have seen plenty of people, white and black, take advantage of the system and get as much of a free ride as they can. I’ve seen people hold a job just long enough to qualify for unemployment benefits and then quit. They take the money as long as they can, then repeat the process. And I just don’t understand extending unemployment benefits. If you don’t find a job in a year, you won’t find one in another 13 weeks. I say this because if you don’t find a job in a year, it’s because you’re not looking. Someone is always hiring. I’m an engineer, but if I were laid off and needed to feed my family, I’d flip burgers or cut grass or do whatever it took. That’s the difference between me and you bleeding hearts. You make excuses for people not working and want to give them anything they want. I think people should work for what they get.

I have not actually. My parents did not have much when I was growing up, but we got by and did it by working hard and not spending much. My dad basically quit his job to take care of his parents. My grandmother was sick and required round the clock care for about 5 years. When she died, my grandfather became very ill and needed the same thing. My dad did side jobs and whatever he could, while my mom worked a 9-5. We made it through with no government help, and now that my grandparents are gone and my dad is working, thy are very well off. I worked my ass of in high school in a college prep program and earned a full academic scholarship. So I guess that’s a handout, but it was based on merit.

And yes I do think people making 6 figures generally worked hard to get there. There is a reason that people are paid that much, and it’s because their jobs are important to society. Anybody can flip burgers, but only people who spent a long time in school and who work very hard can design a bridge that won’t fall or perform open heart surgery or write software for a multinational corporation.

And I’m really tired of people playing the slavery card. Shut up already. If people quit talking about it, it wouldn’t be an issue anymore. My family never owned slaves, they never had the money. There is no reason for my tax dollars to go towards “reparations” being paid to the great grandchild of a slave. It was an embarrassing time for the nation, but there are no slaves still alive today. And nobody that’s brought up today has any idea what life was like for the slaves. To say they have it so hard today because their ancestors were slaves is an insult to how hard life actually was for the slaves. It isn’t really about reparations, it’s about finding another way to milk money out of the government.

FWIW, it is an old joke, and that dude is not dark enough to pull it off. Don’t quite your day job, and work on new original material if you want to make it to NY-LA. Besides who needs a third rate local black guy when I can have Barrack Obama 24-7.

BTW, CLander how are you going to handle the racist, anti semetic stuff in your book? Mt Clemens who knew they even existed, seems to be near Royal Oak (the only place you can see “The Fall” other than the coasts, and that indie thearer in Nebraska), won’t be riding my fixie there.

I haven’t seen anyone comment on what I feel is the gem of this piece:

“It’s a clever way of engaging people with dialogue about the need for more diversity in the community. It kind of caught me by surprise,” said Annette Mills, who moved to Corvallis more than a year ago.

How refreshingly, cluelessly ironic. Um, Annette? People of color can’t be ordered from NYC like those bagels you miss so much and just have to have “sent.” If you were truly concerned about ethnic diversity, may I ask why the hell you moved to Corvallis??

I love the whole “I’m voting for Obama, so I must love Black people” kind of comment. I always like to mess with people who don’t know me and pull that out of their butts. Then I tell them how my husband, who IS black, will NOT be voting for Obama. LOL

Perhaps, it’s not that 95% of black people are voting for Obama because he’s black, maybe it’s just that “they” (the BLACK constituents) don’t want that insane MCCAIN man in office continuing our nation on the idiotic path set by their presidential predecessor.

Also, I think that to say that “post racialism” isn’t alive and well is silly. Take myself as an example: I don’t have friends of different races and ethnicities, “I just have friends.” In fact, I couldn’t even tell you off the top of my head if any of them were, “different” from me because we are all human; you know of of the same “human” mold…blah, blah.

How many bla..nay, not just black- but all Minorities would be tragically torn down the middle if Bill Clinton were running opposite Barrack Obama. Let me be the 1st to say, “I would.” You know I can say that because I’m not only a racist ethnic, but a lowly woman.

Also, there is the fact that it is pretty hard to identify with MCCAIN. It’s so much simpler to vote for someone who looks kinda like you? I think he (Barack) kind of looks like me, and I am Mexican, Filipino and female, Go figure! ;-)

Great Slogan! I think I’m gonna steal it and make a shirt or just maybe, I’ll luck out and Shepard Fairy will beat me to it.

Fuck! Did I spell his name wrong? I always feel that I’ve spelled it wrong, clearly- I’m not as up on my white graffiti/propaganda artists, as I should be. Damn me! I’d be such a failure at a dinner party.

Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam, author of Bowling Alone, is very nervous about releasing his new research, and understandably so. His five-year study shows that immigration and ethnic diversity have a devastating short- and medium-term influence on the social capital, fabric of associations, trust, and neighborliness that create and sustain communities. He fears that his work on the surprisingly negative effects of diversity will become part of the immigration debate, even though he finds that in the long run, people do forge new communities and new ties.

Putnam’s study reveals that immigration and diversity not only reduce social capital between ethnic groups, but also within the groups themselves. Trust, even for members of one’s own race, is lower, altruism and community cooperation rarer, friendships fewer. The problem isn’t ethnic conflict or troubled racial relations, but withdrawal and isolation. Putnam writes: “In colloquial language, people living in ethnically diverse settings appear to ‘hunker down’—that is, to pull in like a turtle.”

In the 41 sites Putnam studied in the U.S., he found that the more diverse the neighborhood, the less residents trust neighbors. This proved true in communities large and small, from big cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Boston to tiny Yakima, Washington, rural South Dakota, and the mountains of West Virginia. In diverse San Francisco and Los Angeles, about 30 percent of people say that they trust neighbors a lot. In ethnically homogeneous communities in the Dakotas, the figure is 70 percent to 80 percent.

Diversity creates tension and friction, it doesn’t remove it. Corvallis will gain nothing by accepting the Leftist ideology of “diversity”, nothing except a few more “restaurant choices” and the inevitable tension that accompanies multi-racialism.

Didn’t anyone see the movie Crash? LA didn’t have those problems as short as even 40 years ago.

The average black HS drop-out know more about “race” and “racial arguments” than does the college-educated White. White people will inevitably be forced to learn all this “racism” crap and how to navigate it.

That’s what “diversity” has brought us, a complete waste of our time that could have been spent on productive endeavors.

Maybe an obama presidency will help give most black kids a reason to strive for success in school, to become doctors, or lawyers or teachers, instead of rappers, or singers.

I doubt that. What most of them are waiting for is the redistribution of wealth (i.e. free health care) and God knows what else.

I actually kinda hope Obama does get elected as a wake up call to Whites.

Obama will unfortunately inherit a fiscal budget deficit and there is no way he can deliver what his constituents are dreaming for. It should be interesting to see their reactions when Obama doesn’t magically fix their lives.

Whites that vote for Obama are voting for a huge tax increase and radical Leftist judges on the Supreme Court. I have no idea why any White would want that, but apparently there are plenty.

Why do think there are so many programs, classes, groups, etc. devoted to it?

There are government bureaucracies today, that never existed before, just to deal with it.

Racism is positively correlated to the level of multi-racialism, without multi-racialism “racism” doesn’t hardly exist, as evidenced by places like Japan where the idea of a Presidential candidate having to give a speech about “race” is incomprehensible.

La Raza increases racism in the USA, it doesn’t make any think “post-racialism”. They don’t even know what that term means and neither do I. It’s ideology, not reality.

Vote for Obama for a huge tax increase, and Leftist anti-White and anti-Christian judges on the Supreme Court. Go ahead leave the next generation worse off.

Israel would never vote for such a man as Prime Minister, yet the Jews in the USA will vote for him.

I saw a black guy at a book fair wearing a Obama shirt that included the black power fist on it. Doesn’t this guy know that Obama rejects black racists? doesn’t he know that Obama is “post-racialist”? Or does he know something that duped liberal Whites do not?

I would say 40 years of “aid” and ‘welfare” totaling about 1 trillion dollars provided from Whites to blacks since 1964 still hasn’t benefited the blacks.

Does anyone here really have a “fix” that hasn’t been tried in the last 40 years? Let’s hear it. Throwing White money (via White guilt) at blacks for 40 years has resulted in worse Black statistics than occurred before 1964.

Whites: The current national average for Black illegitimacy is 70%.

Look it up, because you won’t hear it discussed on the jewtube, where all the Blacks are the boss of the dumb White office worker.

Slavery, 6 figures, education and old money aside; I’m simply going to say that some people are on welfare because they need to be. Some people work really, really, hard and still need help to make ends meet.

To make a general statement focused on the race of the people who receive welfare, instead of a general statement about reformation of welfare, is very racist, very racist indeed. Why didn’t you just state that you feel that all of the people who are “lazy” (every race has them) and taking advantage of the system need to be stopped?

Do you really feel that every black person on welfare is lazy, or do you think that EVERYONE on welfare is lazy? Except, of course, if they are a war vet or an old person (I admit, I am making an assumption that those two catagories are safe from your scorn.)

However, I do agree with you that it is glaringly clear that some changes need to be made to the welfare system. I also say that it’s hard to do that when funds are cut at every corner. You can’t expect something to work as it should without putting the money into it.

On that point, how do you expect the few people who find the cracks in the system, not to take advantage of them; especially, if they know that no one is monitoring it. FYI, No one’s monitoring it because of budget cuts, cuts that were not proposed by the, “throw money at them and they’ll go away bleeding heart Democrats.”

You can’t give welfare and half ass it and hope that no one takes advantage of it based on honor. If you expect that, you’re daft. Believe me, I live in a city with a honor based transit (hey- it’s the same, in that it’s a free ride too, if you can get away with it) and I see just as many white people getting tickets for not having paid the fare as I do every other race. People can’t resist a free ride….ALL PEOPLE!

It’s definitely great that your father and mother worked so hard and that although your life was meager, you and your family were never left wanting and asking for hand outs from the government like my mother and I. I guess you and yours are just made from better stuff than the rest of us. After all all you’ve ever gotten or had was based on merit.

Although I am not “black” and therefore in your eyes not lazy- I will let you know that my mother, sister and I were on government assistance for 3-4 years. During this time my mom had three jobs, and went to school full time and yes, still needed help.

So, I will take the time to apologize to you now, I am sorry that I was not old enough to get a job to help make the ends meet. Please believe me, that I looked everywhere for people willing to hire me on to sew Kathy Lee Gifford clothing or some other Wall-Mart brand alas my small hands came up empty every time.

I apologize for my mom too, how dare she find herself down and out with no one to turn to. Clearly, it’s her fault, If she was industrious enough she’d have forgone school (because that was just taking time from her available manual labor hours) and just worked 22 hours a day.

I say 22 because, after all you are not heartless, you’d feel that she’d be worthy of government assistance even with these 2 hours she selfishly would have used for herself. One of them to be used for sleep and the other to spend time reading to her poor children. You figure at least reading to us would ensure that we would not end up like her, barely educated with a baby in each arm and another on the way, swiping our EBT cards and living on prime rib dinners.

I’m sorry to inform you that sometimes even two full time jobs and one part time job do not provide enough income to pay the rent, let alone support a family.

Have you ever lived in California?

Sorry for the rant, you just grated on one of my last nerves for the day and it’s early… I hate to think about what my mood will be like later.

He’s not even that. He looks more like an quadroon, or even octoroon. What they used to call ‘High Yellow’ around here, back when there used to be parties in Harlem where you couldn’t get in if you were darker than a paper grocery bag.

This is true, my job w/ IBM was outsourced last year to the Phillippines, and the vast majority of the people working there of all races milked E.I. for all they could/as long as they could. I like having a FULL salary (rather than 55%) so I went off months before I could’ve. Same thing with my mom; she was actually on welfare early in life very briefly, and went off AS SOON as she could. It takes a strong character and sense of principles to walk away from free money when they are saying, “Here, please take it. You’re entitled.”

Hmmm… well I’m black and love all these groups of people, have friends in all of these groups, so I exist as an example that your generalizations are incorrect. So perhaps the problem is that they’re poor and poverty breeds a lot of social problems, not the least of which is racism?

People associate with those on their class level, this has been proven countless times. Take a non-threatening, money-making person of any race, and people will want to hang out with him (ex. Obama). This has also been proven many times.

My boyfriend and I, who are white and black respectively, both went to college (although he’s got his degree, I’m not done yet, he’s a few years older), both like quirky movies like “London” and coincidentally, get along great. So where does race fit into the equation?

Exactly. It doesn’t. In my experience, white people are as nice as any other people, they will hang out with you and embrace you as long as you’re good people. I think this is true for most people. I don’t think people are inherently racist. I think there’s a lot more to it than that.

OK, so black people vote for a black guy who charismatic, handsome, liberal (this is key because he could be black as the night and you still couldn’t get most blacks to vote Republican), by all acounts inspiring, and the very first black candidate they’ve ever seen to even get close to the presidency, and this automatically means they hate white people? Okay then. I guess this means that all those older women who voted for Hilary because they never thought they’d live to see a female get close to the presidency and it inspired them must really hate all men.

If I were American, I would vote for Obama. Why? Aside from the fact that he’s the dreamiest politician since Kennedy, he’s not McCain. If I were American and Clinton were the presidential candidate, I’d vote for her. Why? Because she’s not McCain.

Also, she aimed for socialized healthcare in the ’90s before being strongarmed, so that put her in my goodbooks too.

I am a Case Manager at a Community Mental Health Organization. I work in Wayne County, which covers the City of Detroit. One huge aspect of my job is to help people get on Medicaid/Medicare, foodstamps, etc. I live and work in one the most ethnically black cities in the country, and most of my clients are white. Most people on welfare are white. Also, don’t make an argument about grammar, wasn’t that a subject making fun of white people like 3 weeks ago?

Maybe, because of structural racism in this country which blacks are all too conscious of but whites go out of their way to deny or explain away… with Obama as the first non-white presidential candidate with a viable chance of winning, they are overwhelmingly supporting him, because he understands and lives the racism that they face everyday.

Or it could just be that blacks have always voted in a bloc for the Dems, at least since the 60s or so. Or that they don’t want to vote for a frumpy rich old white guy.

As I said in a couple of my earlier posts, I do not think all black people are lazy, there are plenty of worthless white people, and not all people -black or otherwise- on welfare are lazy.

My first post about the handouts to black people was meant as a joke. It set everybody off on rants about me being racist and insensitive, so I’m arguing my case against the welfare system in general, not just blacks receiving welfare. I did argue the statistics because I meant percentage based on overall population of each race, not just sheer numbers.

I know that there is no easy solution to the welfare problem. I know that it would take money to weed out the people that are taking advantage of the system. But it seems like the Democrats are going way too far to appease the unemployed in order to get their votes. Paying people to be unemployed in no way benefits any part of our economy. It makes no sense. This is why I tend to vote Republican. Raising taxes to pay for things like unemployment benefits is taking money out of the hands of the people that can boost our economy, and putting into the hands of people that don’t deserve it. I stand by my statement that if you want to find a job, you can find a job.

I applaud your mother for working so hard, but I’ll leave you with this. Shouldn’t everyone consider their economic situation before bringing a child into the world? If you can’t afford a kid, don’t have one. I understand that precautions don’t always work, but I also believe that a lot of low income people don’t think about this before they get pregnant.

Vijay Singh is blacker than that dude, but everyone knows it’s the guy in the picture who is still “black”, thereby proving that genes do matter and it’s not “skin color”. It’s much deeper than that which separates us in this great diverse world.

So true! I thought the same thing as soon as I read this. You can’t just make order up some ethnics. What the heck is wrong with people. When will people just have friends? Nobody calls me their Hungarian friend.

Let me tell you, we are more of a minority in this country than black people or Latinos. Hungarians are ethnic. We’re euro/asiatic. We have different foods. We talk funny when we are together. Why isn’t anyone paying attention to us. After all somebody in the recent past tried to wipe us out too.

There are many reasons to hate fatties. Try to do some cooking in a small kitchen with a fatty also there: you either get squashed or you have to stop what you’re doing until the fatty is done cooking its slop–and fatties can take a long time to prepare enough to eat for single meal. Also, let one sit in your car: I don’t care if you own a monster SUV, when a fatty climbs in, part of the vehicle lowers and your car will now pull toward the side where the fatty has planted itself. Ever get into an elevator with a fatty? If it’s crowded, the fatty could possibly squish you, or the others in the elevator without even knowing it; even if no one is squished, the stench coming from the many sweaty, rotting crevices on the fatty’s blubbery body is enough to cause brain damage. All kinds of microorganisms grow in those nasty folds of flesh. Fatty’s take over a house, like a drunk or a drug addict; they cost tons of money and make everyone around them miserable. Imagine being the family member that has to prepare the 500 pounds of food a gargantua must stuff in their gullet each day; you’d probably end up killing yourself it’s so grotesque.

Hey, fatties, ever hear of Jenny Craig? End the fatness, you monsters of fatrocity.

It’s interesting you say that. I’ve seen your same unique blue snowflake, that has been assigned to your e-mail address or IP # (I’m not sure which one), show up with about 10 different user-names. A while back you were ‘oy gevalt’, and since then you’ve been many people. Actually, I think you’ve been way more than just 10 people. You’ve talked to yourself a lot on these comment threads – must be lonely.

Anyone can always know when I, the real brown eyed girl, has made a post, because you’ll NEVER find my grey snowflake with its four diamonds in the center square, attached to any other user-name.

A war is exactly the type of thing Federal taxes should be
for. I honestly think the best solution the welfare problem
is to run it at the state level, not the federal level. Localizing it would make it more efficient, and taxes could be applied more
appropriately. I am 100% saying that if you can’t afford a kid you shouldn’t have one. That seems like common sense to me.

You do realize that blacks aren’t the only minority in the United States right? Because pretty much 90% of your comments are about how black people are all evil, every last one of them, the other 10% are various shades of “I hate Jews” and “White power.”

By the way, to answer your question I AM a fix. I didn’t grow up in poverty, was encouraged to succeed, and had parents who loved and nurtured me and showed me that love is more important than race. Ding ding ding!

And what IS reality? “Shipping” almost million Americans, many of whom were born there and are productive citizens, off somewhere, just because they happen to not be white? You don’t see that, aside from the social devastation, the economic devastation that would result from cutting the population of the country by a third? Or was your solution more along the lines of the Holocaust?

Or maybe, the idea that we all live here together, so maybe it would be in our interest to make an effort to understand one another and to get along, is the less far-fetched idea. Maybe accepting the reality that NO ONE IS GOING ANYWHERE, so you have to accept that and find a way to live peacefully with one another?

I mean, really, what are you hoping to accomplish here, Portnoy, aside from spreading a message of hate, intolerance, and white supremacy? Or can I rightfully assume that you’re just a whiny little bitch?

You’re the idealist because you can’t change anything, aside from making a few white people on a blog a little more resentful. All you’re really doing is being a whiny little bitch. And perhaps that’s where your rage comes from; your utter meaningless.

Anyway, you have your wish, whiny little bitch boy. I’m done posting on this blog. Because unlike you ever will, I realize the utter pointlessness of doing something that is negative, puts me in a foul mood and ultimately won’t change anything. So you can feel free to spread your hateful message on. You have at least one less person listening.

Yeah, I know he’s a liberal (small “l” that is, otherwise he’d be a member of the Liberal Party of Canada – think Trudeau, you might of heard of him -definitely small “l” too but that’s another topic). But he, himself realizes there is more than race at issue, that’s all.

He is afraid his research will get taken out of context, twisted and co-opted by the right to emphasize just racist arguments.

Putnam, correct about the ghettoization of social groups, is interesting in that he chipping away at the centuries-old excersize of developmental democracy, something I hoped we were pretty much all on board with.

Actually, bloc voting has occurred among many groups in American history, and usually concerns maximizing leverage at the polls.

African Americans began voting in high percentages for Democratic candidates around 1964 to push Civil Rights legislation forward, and that trend has continued. Since the majority of candidates on ballots are White, the main beneficiaries of such bloc voting have been White, especially at the state and national levels (governors, representatives, senators, presidents).

Incidentally, the majority of Black voters supported Hillary Clinton until Obama seemed to be a viable candidate.

Are you nuts or something? Whites have been leaving LA, Chicago, Bay Area, and NY areas going on 20 years now.

If by popular you mean Whites under 35 with no kids, living in rented apartments owned by ethnic racist chinese (e.g. San Francisco), then that’s not a cross section of White people. White retirees are also FLEE as fast as they can the so-called “popular” places.

Like it or not, the “maligned” Sun Belt is where many Whites have gone. Unfortunately for Whites, the Sun Belt has also attracted the LaRaza ethnic group because of proximity and Bush’s pathetic liberalism when it comes to our borders.

Polish, German, Irish, Scandinavian, Italian, and Eastern European Whites were NEVER colonial nations, therefore they have no guilt except that which is pushed upon them by the so numerous hateful anti-White racist crybabies.

Mark, some people are just clueless to reality. Ignore them, unless they are White liberal women then honest people have a duty to at least give them facts and the truth as per above. Let them make their own decisions after being given raw data, and not liberal media lies.

* Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
* When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
* Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.
* The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.

Interracial Crime

* Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
* Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
* Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
* Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.

Gangs

* Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
* Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs. Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.

Incarceration

* Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139 to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39 million.
* Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are three times more likely.

In auto racing, a black flag is the signal used for the car to go to the pits. Barack Obama winning the Democrat Nomination is a black flag for America, a sign of where we as a people and nation are heading…to the pits.

In reality, Barack Hussein Obama is no more of a danger to the interests of the White American than Hillary Clinton or John McCain. Perhaps he is even less of one, for when traitors become your own leaders they are much more dangerous to you than a powerful enemy outside of your own ranks.

Still, Obama is a signal flag that European Americans have lost control over the government of the nation they founded, a nation that when it was at its best was the a pinnacle of the dreams of Western man. In a sense, America being composed of every heritage of Europe embodied a collective will of our European folk, a power that created great documents of freedom and wonderful examples of courage. It embodied a national will that accomplished the greatest adventure in the history of mankind, the placing of European footprints on the moon.

Contemporary to that American lunar accomplishment, the seeds of destruction were sown in the racist, anti-European, Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, an act that discriminates against European immigrants (like us) and favors the Third World. In those years the media and its all-seeing-eye of television fell under the iron grip of a small tribe of non-Europeans who nurtured ancient hatreds against us since the time our Greek and Roman European forbears conquered them.

Now, the dreams of our forefathers have morphed into our own living nightmares in which anti-White racism and and White self-hate dominate the political and media landscape. Millions of our people face massive racial discrimination in the Newspeak of “affirmative action.” We have lost the educational system our people created and made one of the best in the world, to the point where millions of our people can’t send their kids to the schools their own taxes pay for, where their children not only face educational mediocrity, but often the far worse fate of physical beatings, sexual assaults and the drug environment of gangstas and gangsta rap-infested schools.

Our people find their taxes being doled out by the billions for the medical care and welfare of illegal aliens and welfare cheats while millions of our hard working people can’t get or can’t afford the most basic medical insurance. We spend trillions of dollars of American tax money in foreign wars orchestrated by those in our midst who are themselves foreign to every value of America and who are themselves loyal to a foreign nation. Must I invoke the two names of the chief orchestrators of the Iraq War, the Jewish extremists, Wolfowitz and Perle? Does anyone really still believe that the Iraq War is on behalf of America?

These same supremacists who have us die and go bankrupt for Israel as a segregated, supremacist, “Jewish State,” tell us that it is evil for White Americans to preserve our civil rights, our heritage, our traditions and our values in the nation we founded. Not content with destroying the European heritage of our own country, they now use the military and economic, media and social might of the United States to influence and destroy the racial foundations of every White nation on earth. The aliens who control the media and political establishment of America use the might of our country to support every degenerate and destructive policy imaginable, from open borders to a pornographically sick international media, where every kind of sickness, perversion, immorality, dishonesty and ugliness is relentlessly promoted.

Obama, though not appreciably different in policies from Clinton or McCain, is symbolic of that transfer of the control of America from White to anti-White. However, he is not the author of his success. He is the result of decades of anti-White propaganda promoted by the alien media and he is the result, as are McCain and Clinton, of millions of dollars of Jewish agenda money like that of Obama’s biggest campaign contributor, Goldman Sachs. He is propelled by the dynamics of Black and minority racism, and the anti-White racism instilled in far too many of our own kind.

The fact that so many Whites would support him even after his twenty year membership in an anti-White church is indicative of the media-instilled sickness in so many of our own people. These are brainwashed Whites who would believe that a White man standing up for his people’s interests is the epitome of evil, but a Black man doing it is the epitome of goodness. Of course, in the long run even Obama can’t put the interests of Black people first, or the interests of the American majority first. The radical advocates of the Jewish minority control the key positions of American media, finance and political fundraising. They are the real rulers of 21st century America, rulers for whom Obama has already bent over.

The government and media establishment are embarked on a catastrophic agenda to make European Americans an eventual political minority in the nation we founded. Over all of this degenerating multicultural, multiracial menagerie, stirring this boiling cauldron of a toxic melting pot, sit the ultimate racists, the Jewish supremacists and their sycophants. Anyone who seeks any office in America, from President of the United States down to town dog catcher must pass the ultimate litmus test of eagerness to put the interests of Israel over those of the United States. Obama has passed the test. He has genuflected before the one unassailable power in the United States, the one power that no one can criticize, that no one is even allowed to acknowledge, and that no one can refuse to obey without career-ending consequences. McCain has long since proven his servility to the Jewish extremists, and he has long since proven his role as White race traitor by being a co-sponsor of the amnesty bill that would speed up the already horrifyingly rapid demise of the America of our fathers and mothers.

In truth, McCain, being at least a White man on the outside, and being the top Republican, can marshal far more support for anti-White programs in the U.S. Congress than could Obama. No Republican or conservative Democrat would have too much trouble opposing Obama’s amnesty, it could be an endearing mark of honor for many. But, many Republicans would be forced by party loyalty and party committee assignments and similar inducements to support catastrophic policies proposed by McCain, policies McCain has already supported and that surely he will support again.
America has marched steadily toward catastrophe since the 1930s. Whether it was Hoover or Roosevelt, Truman or Eisenhower, Kennedy or Johnson or Nixon or even Ronald Reagan, American policy has moved remorselessly toward the destruction of the European American community. Bush is the epitome of everything wrong with the American political establishment. He sometimes mimics a God-fearing, patriotic American but actually stands for every evil that will wipe our people off the map.

Obama will be no worse for us than any of the White sell-outs that came before him. But, Obama will be a clear signal for millions of our people. Obama is a visual aid for White Americans who just don’t get it yet that we have lost control of our country, and unless we get it back we are heading for complete annihilation as a people.

Obama is like that big dark spot on your arm that finally sends you to the doctor for some real medicine. Obama is the pain that lets your body know that something is dreadfully wrong.

Obama lets the American people know that there is a real cancer eating away at the heart of our country and Republican aspirin will not only not cure it, but only masks the pain and makes you think you don’t need radical surgery.

Obama is the telltale X-ray.

Obama is the wake up call.

The elite that controls the media and government are pushing Obama down our throats, and millions of the American people resent it.

My bet is that whether Obama wins or loses come November, millions of European Americans will inevitably react with a new awareness of their heritage and the need to defend and advance it.

Obama’s winning the Democratic nomination will usher in a new age of racially conscious American politics. The minorities have long had this consciousness. They have been voting in blocs for decades. Now it is our turn.

The Obama nomination draws the lines of racial demarcation in America.

He helps make everything very clear to our people. He paves the way for thousands of other candidates on the American horizon, White candidates who stand up for our own people the way that Obama stands up for his.

The Jewish community of Aspen, Colo., is buzzing with excitement in advance of this summer’s groundbreaking of a new 34,000-square-foot community center. According to the plans, the new home of Chabad-Lubavitch of Aspen Valley will fit right in with the city’s quaint rustic wood-framed storefronts, but retain its utility as a home for the growing community’s many activities.

“It’s going to be the most exciting thing the Aspen community has ever had,” predicts Harry Feldman, the center’s vice president. “And it’s really important for the children and teens. When these kids come, I want them to be positive about being Jewish, like I am.”

Rabbi Mendel Mintz, co-director with wife Lieba of Chabad-Lubavitch of Aspen Valley, sees the new center as an opportunity to strengthen the community in unforeseen ways.

Racism in Britain didn’t exist in the 19th Century, but now it is literally out of control.

Racism existed in the colonies, yes, because of multi-racialism. European powers have given back their colonies, so now the racism is in reverse: it’s racism (anti-White racism) that’s sickening the Western nations from within.

“Migrant workers in Russia found themselves legislated out of a job yesterday after a controversial new law reserving retail jobs for ethnic Russians came into force.

Until yesterday it was not uncommon to visit a market staffed exclusively by migrant workers from across the former Soviet Union. Now hundreds of thousands of migrant workers from countries such as Georgia, Azerbaijan and Tajikistan are looking for new jobs.

In Russia’s Far East such positions have typically been filled by Chinese migrant workers and many of them appear to have already returned home.”

This might sound racist, but its not because i knew a few cab drivers. Black people are right, it is harder for them to hail a cab, but not because the cab driver is racist, its because that black people usually dont tip the driver. And for a cabbie who bairly makes enough as it is, has a choice between maybe getting tipped and absolutely getting tipped, he is gunna pick the absolutely. I understand that not everyone can afford to tip, but if you cant afford to tip, you cant afford to take a cab, im sorry. Trust me, if black people tipped more, they would be able to hail a cab way faster.

Jews hate black people are you kidding me? They helped them out in the 60s, but black people during the 70s they turned on the jews because all they saw was rich people and “the man”, and because they probably had a jewish boss who they hated so, o well. Jews love white people, I dont know where you get your info, but the jews in california have perfectly small noses, because they all get nosejobs. I can understand how you might not like jews from the east coast, because, well everyone from the east coast sucks, but the jews on the west coast are completely different, and you might actually like them.

Except for those older women still didnt support hillary 95% like black people do for obama. NO other group supports a candidate with such high numbers as black people for obama, and thats because of one reason, hes black. I Think older women supported hillary like 72%, that is a far cry from 95%, if you want to deny that black people are only voting for him because he is black, then fine, but your living in a fantasy land.

as much as most of your comments are terrible, this is actually true. Black people are leaving central LA in droves, not just because of mexicans, but because they realize they can sell there shitting house for 500k and move to palm dale/lancaster and buy a huge house for the whole family. Have you ever been to the antelope valley? its the new compton.

Actually, isreal didnt want the war, because Saddam Hussain kept Iran at bay, sure saddam was a bad guy, but only to his country, look at our gas prices when he was in power, and when he wasnt, i think i would take saddam over this war any day.

god you sound like someone from the 1500s who said the jews controlled the media, and finance. jeez get a new slogan, how can such a tiny minority of about 16 million people be so damn powerful? News flash, they dont. One jewish state, with how many christian and muslim states? thats what I thought. Isreal is a place that jews can go just incase someone like you gets power over a country and decides to kick them out. Isreal is like an insurance policy, they know many people are hate them for the so called “chosen people” crap, and they are jealous for their success, those two things over the last 2,000 years are why there is an Isreal today. Christians have tons and tons of countries they can flee too incase something were to happen, say a muslim becomes president and deicides to kick them out. But jews dont, they have been forced out of most of the european countries, and after the holocaust, a jewish state was the only thing they could do to survive. And just so you know there are muslims and christians in isreal. How many christians and jews are openly excepted in say saudi arabia, or jordan, or syria, or iran, etc. One jewish state aint gunna hurt you, dont you have bigger fish to fry?

how would we even mandate that? Would we close down shops that employed them? seems fine, but it would totally cripple are economy in California, because i know one thing, I want you to ask blonde hair, blue eyed Kristy to pick strawberrys for 4 dollars an hour, and see what kind of response you get. The mexicans are taking jobs nobody wants. Its only when they take jobs at say subway, or starbucks, or target, is when we get mad, because those are the better jobs. How about we just say illegal aliens can take jobs that have a high propensity for physical harm, such as contruction, or getting heat stroke picking tomatoes, etc. And save the more pleasant air conditioned jobs for americans. seems fine to me.

So the British attitude and treatment of the Irish during that period (19th century and beyond) doesn’t constitute racism? The Brits barely considered the Irish ‘human’ at that time and the press in this country continually portrayed them as simian-featured monsters. That was not exactly White brotherly love.

Maybe for another entry you could do “writing the first comment” Who the hell cares? I know we have very few exploration frontiers left in our modern society, but being the first one to comment on a blog, especially if all you write is “first” is a pretty weak substitute.

Why don’t you go find some wet cement to write a dirty word in so that you, your children, and your children’s children can have something to proudly snicker at for the rest of your days?

Agreed. And didn’t racism feed the justification of having colonies in the 19th century? The notion that racism (the belief that biology predetermines all aspects of culture) could not exist unless a person of another culture happened to be physically present is absurd.

The concept of race was quite extensive in 19th century Britain, and reflected in governmental policies toward the Irish, and internationally in its colonies.

Illegal Hispanics are the new slaves in America, except the master class is not responsible in the least for their care, feeding and education. Those who benefit from this slavery shift costs to the innocent i.e. the taxpayer. No one could really make that claim about the antebellum USA.

Yep, it sure is a curiosity. Maybe we do it because deep down, in some dark crevice, we really would like to be a Jew or a woman. Ideally we’d like to be both at the same time. That would make for some really trippy sex for sure. Personally, I’d like to be Babs; I mean, if you’re going to fantasize why not be Jewish, female, and rich & powerful? Who cares I’d scare the crap out of myself every time I looked in the mirror?

What about New York, Toronto, Vancouver, and San Fran, to name a few. Yeah, people are fleeing those place, right? Dream on.

Stop mixing your imagination with reality. YOU WILL NEVER WIN! ahahahahahaha! immigrants are going nowhere! Go ahead, cry, bitch, moan, scream, pant do whatever you want….nobody’s listening. You will never win this war. You will always be a miserable S.O.B. Hahahahaha! I’m off to get some Thai.

Why do Klan types always bitch about blacks not taking responsibility for their actions yet blame all of the failures of white people on Jewish mind control and propaganda. What a bunch of hypocritical douches.

As a white person, one of my favorite activities is secretly feeling superior to other people. This is nice when applied to non-whites, of course, but is even nicer when I can feel superior to white people, too. Thank you for your site. Now I know that am not alone.

Since when did this become a white supremacist web site? This satire people, get a clue.

Also, if you think that whites are good/law abiding and everyone else is bad, you are ignorant of world history. We are all human and no one is superior. We all do evil things, some of us just know how to get away with it better than others.

On a religious note, Portnoy, please consider choosing a spiritual path. Maybe that will help you turn away from your rabid hatemongering.

Yup, downtown Vancouver has gone from being pretty much a whitey-ville 20 years ago (Yeah yeah they had a chinatown and a japantown – in the eastside) that was widely considered to be rather boring, to a model of density, urban planning and diversity throughout the world. And yes, unlike some people, I speak from experience. I grew up there.

I say this from Toronto, where I live now, which is rather the opposite in terms of urban planning, but people keep moving downtown despite it. Our condo prices hardly follow the path of housing prices in the States, it’s holding strong and rising. And BTW, there are plenty of beigies and brownies in my condo!

This guy is a black man, certainly. But race isn’t the only factor at work in “racism”. Here in Oklahoma City there are plenty of black people to meet, and I get so tired of a few of them hollerin’ and shootin’ and showboatin’ and bein’ loud down at the end of the block, that when I hear Obama speak on TV I get all emotional about just how much I like the guy. I get all emotional about the sweet ladies down at the local soul food restaurant that hug my neck when I come in. There are personality traits that are black and beautiful, and there are traits that are black and offensive or even dangerous. There’s not just one default “black” that makes all black people all alike. And some white people, especially in the South, have traditionally “black” traits too, both positive and negative, and some black people, especially oustide the South, have traditionally “white” traits both positive and negative.

In other words, diversity is far deeper than the color of one’s skin. This guy may be black, but really, how much does he challenge, or add new perspective, to this snowdrift Oregonian town?

this is funny. It depends what city you’re in though. At the farmers market I sell at there are plenty of black guys and women. unfortunately there are some white yuppies. They complain about prices the most, then go to Whole Foods and pay out the ass for complete shit from california, the yuppie mecca.

“Thirty years ago, meatpacking was one of the highest-paid industrial jobs in the United States, with one of the lowest turnover rates. In the decades that followed the 1906 publication of The Jungle, labor unions had slowly gained power in the industry, winning their members good benefits, decent working conditions, and a voice in the workplace. Meatpacking jobs were dangerous and unpleasant, but provided enough income for a solid, middle-class life. There were sometimes waiting lists for these jobs. And then, starting in the early 1960s, a company called Iowa Beef Packers (IBP) began to revolutionize the industry, opening plants in rural areas far from union strongholds, recruiting immigrant workers from Mexico, introducing a new division of labor that eliminated the need for skilled butchers, and ruthlessly battling unions. By the late 1970s, meatpacking companies that wanted to compete with IBP had to adopt its business methods—or go out of business. Wages in the meatpacking industry soon fell by as much as 50 percent. Today meatpacking is one of the nation’s lowest-paid industrial jobs, with one of the highest turnover rates. The typical plant now hires an entirely new workforce every year or so. There are no waiting lists at these slaughterhouses today. Staff shortages have become an industry-wide problem, making the work even more dangerous.”

You are clueless. West Coast jews are the ones that fill the jewtube with all kinds of anti-White TV programming.

The jews have no need for the blacks anymore, since the Hispanic invasion is a better tool for the genocide of Whites. Blacks see this now, they are no more use to the Jew and the liberal who hate Whites (albeit Obama may be the last time we see this, because going forward the magic minority to promote will be the Latino (i.e. Villaraigosa).

Jews never support Whites in politics unless they are like McCain who is owned by the Israeli Lobby.

On what basis can you say Jews like Whites? Lusting after white women doesn’t count either (think Ian Ziering, total heeb).

Why are there so many non-Whites here on a white blog? If you guys (above) are White, why are you so hostile to discussing your own interests?

The two gems are:

1) “The fact that so many Whites would support him even after his twenty year membership in an anti-White church is indicative of the media-instilled sickness in so many of our own people.”

2) “Now, the dreams of our forefathers have morphed into our own living nightmares in which anti-White racism and and White self-hate dominate the political and media landscape.”

and the best one:

3) We have lost the educational system our people created and made one of the best in the world, to the point where millions of our people can’t send their kids to the schools their own taxes pay for, where their children not only face educational mediocrity, but often the far worse fate of physical beatings, sexual assaults and the drug environment of gangstas and gangsta rap-infested schools.

Actually plenty in that post is true and relevant to White people in the USA.

White people are voting with their feet and they are leaving. I don’t know why “rick thomas” can’t understand the facts. London was once a city of 9 million Whites, how many are there today.

New York City was once 7 million Whites, and today?

I don’t know that this guy is talking about. He must be blind in addition to being unable to read basic demographic tables.

Sure, he’s probably a non-White so he thinks all the change is good, but I thought we were talking about Whites?

All the change in LA and Miami? This also is decreasing White population in these areas, and THEY GO TO HELL, not get better.

I really wonder what planet rick thomas lives on, the degradation of formerly White suburbs is totally obvious to everyone as well.

So — a few neighborhoods in places like Vancouver, Portland, Chicago, Brooklyn, etc. have improved – but do you douche-bag single renters ever consider how much formerly civilized and White areas have gone downhill??

Talk to any (older) White person that attended public high school, ask them if they would send their children to that same high school. My guess is over 50% of them would say: “no way in hell”.

nick thomas has a very narrowly focused view on what is happening. Try to see the overall picture.

You might be more comfortable in a Third World environment since you are non-White, but most Whites don’t like it — and they move. Go read the gentrification thread for more.

Those are mono-racial places, so they must be backwards too. Enough of the anti-White drivel. Some of these brain-dead liberal Whites won’t be happy until every single place representing White culture is decimated by “diversity”.

If Corvallis wasn’t White, then it would be JUST LIKE EVERYWHERE ELSE, and then it would cease to ADD TO OUR DIVERSE world.

White liberals still don’t get it: Mixing destroys the diversity they are supposed to celebrate. How Irish would Ireland be if it becomes another multi-cult pot of crap? It would kill what Ireland offers to our diverse world. Get it yet?

Matt, this is a little late I know- but whatever- I’m bored. Working and bored. I would like you to know that I am with you- people should fully take into account whether they can afford a child before they have one.

Which, by the way is what my mother and father did. Actually, like you (again I am taking liberty to assume,) I lead a really happy childhood and didn’t want for much if at all. My mother and father had their monetary situations under control. In fact- they had it well under control and my mother was able to quit work and be a stay at home mom and offer me all the benefits thereof. However, what they didn’t take into account was life and love and its failings- which lead to a messy divorce and lack of financial stability. Oh my, woe is me- actually- aside from having to dress a bit unfashionably, and gaining a love for spam and other cheap fair, mumsie provided a good life. We had a place to stay, food on the table, clothes on our backs and love. Awwwe. I digress- my point is:

* Not everyone one welfare with more than one child is choosing to blindly ignore the cost of living and are baby incubators/nesters. Sometimes, you just find yourself in a situation that you couldn’t possibly have taken a precaution against. Is life always so fair to you?

Yet, you are correct some people do live that way, some people do take advantage of the system and, as you said, it is an enormously difficult task to try and fix it.

However, you said that you are purely a fiscal conservative, not a social conservative, right? Now I’m wondering what you have to say for the cutting of funding for sex education/awareness classes and institutions like Planned Parenthood?

I may be mistaken, but I hear that this is something that the Republican party is quite fond of doing. Doesn’t it fiscally make sense to provide the youths (especially the low income youths, as we know that they are the only youths having sex and making unnecessary babies) with the knowledge and power to take a realistic look at sex and the responsibilities that come with it?

You know… so that the “low income people”, not only gain the ability have actual thoughts (logical ones even) and use them to ponder the effects of their biological rabbit-like behavior; but also get assistance with obtaining contraceptives and other social services. You know, I think that if the lower castes of America were offered these options in more abundance; that it could very well, stem the tide of their propagation?

Call me NUTS, but this might work better then condemning us to use our crazy old wives’ remedies, or leaving us no option but to go to various shaman and voodoo doctors for magic potions and spells or the whole wait for marriage mantra- because we can all see how that worked for Jamie Lynn Spears. I believe that money spent iin these programs may very well provide favorable inverse affect on the huge families in the welfare lines and would insooth be the fiscally responsible thing to do.

Which reminds me…tonight after coitus I need to dig a hole in my backyard, and make sure that its due East from a source of water, 3 feet from a tree, then I need to put my love soiled sheets in it, walk’ round it three times (counter clockwise), sing the chorus to Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag”, then burn them. Well,I have to make sure I don’t get pregnant- and that’s the old family magic, passed from mother to daughter as far back as our line extends. Shoot! I know I can’t afford a baby, as a matter of fact I hate babies (very abnormal for us poor people, I know.) Believe you me- I’m despised by both sides of the coin.

I’m not trying to attack you, and apologize in advance if my words come of as snarky. Even if yours do come off as sounding a bit sheltered, which then translate into a remarkably thick layer of pretention… at least that’s the way it comes off to me.

Everything you say makes me laugh, it’s so silly. “Why is this even not obvious?” <— What does that even mean? I don’t know… but it provokes a mental image of a short red faced man jumping up an down with his fist clenched shouting it. This image is totally cute…. Who’s the cute little angry man? You are, yes you are…ooohsha boo, I pinch your puffed up red cheeks.

Gotta admit, I love being Indian (from India, not Nat. Am). Generally, we’re the smartest of the races according to testing (along with other asians, some western europeans, and Ashkenaz Jews), we’re not lazy, and are generally successful_as_hell, professionally speaking. Take a look at Harvard’s incoming business school class (it’s a group on Facebook) as a litmus test here. The reason we’re now becoming so successful is that we’re combining Western-style ambition (“be #1″) with our intellectual gifts… previously, we suffered from an inferiority complex, which, after many years of living in Western society, is now unwinding. I’ve actually experienced “positive racism”, i.e., people just assume that I’m smart due to my being Indian.

That being said, most of my Indian friends still can’t get any white pussy, which proves that ‘attracting a mate’ is a unique skill that is difficult to learn, no matter how many times one reads “The Game.”

I know several Indians who have some serious game. All of whom bring in the White Tail. I know culture has a serious effect on how we meet people; but there are some people who are naturally gifted at social interaction, regardless of ethnicity or national origin. These people I know are also highly motivated and successful in their careers and other people like them. There’s a pattern here.

The British did sell the Irish as slaves. As for the plantation owners, they were Scotch-Irish, the people who were given the land taken from the native Irish, who were slaughtered, starved, banished, sold, etc.

I have lots of white and asian friends and they’re all crazy w/ the made-up or archaic names..Skye, Koy, Garner, Nye, the list is endless. Like you kid is going to be really happy when the terds are slapping him arund for having a weird name. Start saving for therapy or private school now…

Black folks tend to take a map of Wisconsin and throw darts at it, or just invent new spellings of real names to get creative…DeShawn, Mowiqua, etc

This reminds me of a stand up routine by a comedian. He mentioned some football player that was in the news at the time. Said player insisted he wasn’t racist, because he’d had five black people over for a dinner party.

Paraphrased, “That makes him the most racist of all! What the hell did he do, stand by the door and count? Three, four, five – stop right there! We’ve reached capacity for black folks!”

You seem like a nice woman, but doubt you’ve ever taken the time to reflect on your beliefs (see my website for the serious case against the class of people that this website so brilliantly mocks http://thenewfaith.org/what-is-the-new-faith/).

Let me ask you two simple questions. Considering that blacks commit crime at about ten times the rate that whites do and every black school in the nation is a failure by white standards regardless of the amount of money spent, do you believe that you are blessed to have the means not to live in an area with a lot of blacks? And secondly, if you have children or plan to, would you tell them to avoid black neighborhoods, out of concern for their safety?

Stuff White People Like: Being Financially Independent, Community Oriented, Socially Conscious, Law Abiding, Well Mannered, and Not Being a Burden on Society. In other words, generally things needed to have a productive society.

Unlike most minorities.

Censor me and I will become offended! On behalf of a minority, of course.

This post was spell checked and has proper grammar. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, whitey.

#104: Creating a System Wherein They Can Easily Become Financially Indpendent on the Backs of Millions of People They Determine Are Not of Their “Race” Over the Course of 300+ Years and

#105: Denying That This Legacy of Enslavement and Discrimination Has Anything to Do with Their Current Prosperity and the Ease with which They Are Able to Become Law Abiding and Well-Mannered (as Well as Not Being a Burden on Society) in a Society in which They Control the Status Quo.

Confront a white person with these simple sociological facts and he/she will miss the point, insisting, “I’ve never oppressed anyone” or “I have lots of black friends and I’m voting for Barack Obama.” Either that, or he/she will respond that it all happened so long ago that it has no bearing on modern life, a conceit so shortsighted and ignorant as to boggle the mind.

You’re such an idiot…Seriously, my cousin has a black father and a white mother. Her hair is as smooth as silk and she has blue eyes. You would never think that she was of mixed heritage. What do you have to say about that one buddy?

Not only is this too long, it’s ridiculous. If “your people” intended on running this nation as a white majority, white controlled, society until the end of time, why did you make the mistake of taking over a continent already populated by non-whites, bringing in millions of slaves, and stealing territory from a non-white nation? Should have stayed in England…but wait…they only went over to swindle India and half of Africa themselves. Face it, diversity was meant to happen. Get over it. You’re not (and never have been) special.

Matt you’ll be happy to know that the value of food stamps in comparison to grocery store prices are lower than ever. In most cases, it won’t even cover for one full bag. I’m sure some starving child, failing out of all of his classes, and not giving a fuck will really appreciate that someone out there, equally does not give a fuck. I’m glad you have your own set of values and standards, so esteemed that you can impose them on other people and what you think they should do when they’re impoverished and living in generational oppression (I’m talking mental, not physical here, yeah I’m SO over slavery…smirk). I think your biggest problem is not that you’re racist, but that you’re classist. You don’t understand the dynamics of poverty at all, especially when mixed with race. Which is amazing considering your background. I would have hoped you would of learned more from your childhood and high school experience.

p.s. Movies stars and athletes make six figures. What the hell do they do that’s so important?

[some] Black people are racist against whites because they are scared of the racism they’ve experienced. It’s a reverse affect. Do you expect them to be happy about the fact that people like you exist? Oh, and racism between blacks and hispanics is happening because they are two minorities in competition. It’s all a matter of who is going to get more attention from the white people aka the people who are pulling all the strings.

1. You sound just like the white people this blog is making fun of.
2. I am so sick of white guilt, all that white guilt has accomplished is reverse racism. Now blacks can be as racist as they want and if a white person disagrees with something a black person says guess what? They MUST be racist.
3. All those years of slavery and oppression do not account for the fact that black people kill more of each other today than whites have for the last 100 years! Nor does it account for the fact that whites don’t go into black neighborhoods and throw trash everywhere and spray paint everything! Blacks need to start taking responsibility for their own shit. There is a library right next to the projects in my county and it is always empty.
4. I am also white and your disclaimer is stupid.

OH YEAH! It’s not that hard to become financially independent. Get a job, save your money and quit being envious and materialistic! When I drive through the crappy black neighborhoods to get downtown all I see are rims, cellphones, FUBU or whatever other stupid name-brand is in style, a bunch of “bling”, and a satellite dish on every apartment. Blacks need to get their priorities straight is they want to become successful. Why do black girls waiting at bus stops always have like two inch nails and tons of weave?! Acrylics aren’t cheap, so quit whining about financial independence when people are making poor choices- plain and simple!

White people like to keep other races different to themselves so they can enjoy others foreign-ness from their (relatively) low population countries with high living standard and reaffirm that their practices are better than the traditions of others. Like their modern sciences etc. While also trying to seem empathetic to remove themselves from the most hated group internationally (white). By being anti-self, which is the most acceptable from within the transparent ‘white’ group.

racial bias head hunting on whites have been going on for 50 years,thats what the media and the white haters have been doing all along.hot coffee,must nozzle forgivness from minorities for being white and ignorant!

Swing by HomeDepot or Lowes and take a look at people in the garden checkout lines.

At GABP, you may observe 10 African American fans for every 5,500 Caucasian Americans.

You will notice Ticket Brokers, GABP housekeepers and GABP vendors with African American features. The same with home improvement employees, airport workers and basically any retailer around Cincinnati . (Companies pay time and a half on holidays.)

You’ve got to ask yourself, who’s spending money this weekend?

_________

Are we racists for making these observations?

_ If consumer spending is down nationally, exactly who’s spending?

Find a local dog fighting event this weekend and make attendance observations.

Emily dear, your stereotypes are typical because your non-black so that’s understandable. Trust me when I say black people do not sit around and conversate about white people. I am a black woman who has an MBA in accounting and a BA in Business Management. I work for a major luxury store as a Chief Financial Officer and make well over $220,000 annually. My Husband is a Self-practicing Psychiatrist plus realtor and makes more than I do. Not to brag but having great careers and good business sense, we are multi-millionaires and i’m only 37 years old and he’s 41. And as far as weaves are concerned, every nationality wears weaves. I for one don’t because I have natural waist length hair, so no need for a weave and I grow my own nails. So before you start analyzing every black person get your facts straight.

Klannish racism? Are you kidding me? LMFAO. Whites showed their “Christianity” in the beginning of slavery. And I do believe that everywhere white people went turned to absolute garbage. They needed the Indians, the Africans, etc. They never had a backbone or any common sense. Just a few.

I am black and I will never deny the terrible conditions that i’ve seen in the African American/Hispanic communities. I thank God that my husband and I can afford to live in luxury neighborhoods. I’m not downing black people it’s just that some of them do destroy their own neighborhoods. It’s a crying shame.

I’m sorry Portnoy. I am African American. I have long waist length hair. My maternal granparents are West Indian/Jewish. My paternal grandparents are Bajan/Cherokee. I am dark complected. My husband is 15%Jewish/15% Jamaican/15% Chinese/40% Irish and 15% Bajan. My dad is dark and my mom is fair with red hair and freckles. My children are extremely pale like their father, with red hair and freckles like my mom, green eyes like my father-in-law and long hair like mine. The texture is silky/fine with a slight wave and very long. My children look 100% White. Not Mariah Carey white, more like Jennifer Beals or Eartha Kitts daughter. Even though my husband is multi-cultural and i’m considered multi-cultural (with kinky hair), my husband looks white and my children are whiter than he is. So this person with kinky hair gave birth to two girls with fine hair and my little boy is due in 2 weeks.

I can’t believe all the racist & anti- semitic crap in the comments section of this blog- it’s just pathetic. That Matt dude with all his grammatical mistakes while he makes his funky racist posts about black people on welfare & that other guy with his retarded jew obsession… and this douche-deluxe with his “gunna-wanna” racist cab driver crap. They are mentally handicapped jerks.

I call white people european americans all the time. Well, if the black people are african americans, and the asian people are asian americans, white people are logically european americans, since white people come from europe.

all those years of slavery have deeper psychological effects than you can ever begin to perceive. youre only sick of white guilt because you dont want to give up youre white privilege and you feel threatened. you need to learn to deal with it. our society today is not as helpful to black people as white people like to assume. black people are usually concentrated in less privileged poverty ridden areas with low quality schools and low income jobs. lack of financial stability leads to many issues in a community and a household. you cant possibly expect them all to come out to be stand up law abiding citizens. i agree that an individual should work towards their own independance and success but you cannot ignore the white supremacist institutionalized structure of our society thats working against minorities and for maintaining white privilege. by the way i love this blog really funny.

She is not talking about you. She is talking about the poor who have their priorities out of line. Back many years ago when I was in my teenage years I worked as a cashier in a large grocery store in a poor neighborhood (I myself was fortunate enough not to be poor or live in this neighborhood) and I saw this problem run rampant throughout everyone whether they were black, white, or Hispanic. It was an issue. They had the best clothes, the best cell phones, the nicest purses, and bought loads of junk food with their food stamps. No veggies or fruit or chicken. Tons of cookies, chips, ice cream and so on. And of course all that junk food would be of the best brands on the shelves.

If these people wanted to get out they could find a way. Stop having the best things and start saving for a college education to get a good job.

OK, I’m a white guy who works with a lot of black people…just happens to be the demographic of the area where I work. I was standing in the hall one day talking to a black woman about a unique dish my grandmother made with tomatoes and cornbread. While we were talking, another black woman passed by and overheard part of our conversation and yelled “I love cornbread, and barbecue!”, the two women continued to converse about their favorite foods as I watched and listened to them. A middle-aged white woman rounded the corner, posted herself against the wall and proceeded to profess her love for collard greens, fried chicken, and ribs…all while putting on a pseudo-ebonic tone. I was so embarrased I could feel my face turn red. What had started as a normal coversation about food had just been turned into a sideshow and she may as well have been in blackface. True story.

Just relax! Just using the word “ebonic” could be considered racist at this point. Can’t a White person even say the word “watermelon?”

What I see here is a person with White guilt. I don’t see the Blacl ladies you speak of submitting complaints here – just you. You got embarrassed because you think it SHOULD be embarrassing for people of all colors to enjoy food of all kinds.

I am laughing so hard I am crying!!!! This site rocks!
BTW I’m biracial black/white….so what can I say- very perceptive.

It’s probably most funny, because in the US, “white” is considered normal and with the exception of certain fringe groups- most white people do not think of themselves as white. They seem surprised when it is pointed out to them. It is almost taboo in many circles to notice whiteness, even though it’s attitudes, preferences, and common traits are define acceptability.

Hence, the shock and humor of the blog. I can NOT wait to read the book either. My interracial family will get a big kick out of it too.

That’s why the white people that really “get it” about discrimination virually become pariahs because they become so angry and it…instead of sublimating the injustice for years, as we of color Must do- in order to be accepted at all.

My 2 cents worth. Truth and forgiveness. The US and most developed nations are extremely hostile to colored people as a group- but tolerant and kind towards individuals. That’s why you can have a war on the black man in the justice system. It’s pretty evil but only Jesus can teach someone to love their enemies and forgive those who harm them. Otherwise it’s a vicious cycle of hatred and it never ends until one or both parties are dead.

If America was honest about the (intentional )supression of blacks as a group here and abroad, we would have to shed our cherished belief that we are the most moral country on the planet…

So I suppose the creation of the individualist philosophy, enslavement of Africans, dependence on Chinese immigrants, murder of Native Americans, and subsequent transference of wealth to successive generations through trust funds and real estate (acquired wholly by taking the land of others) all qualify as law abiding, productive, financial independence? Another thing white people like: irony.

This site is great! I have no guilt about being white. Mostly, the guilty white liberals embarass me and should not be considered white. Perhaps “clear” is better for them, as they claim no color at all!
